Doze Represents SHS at Model United Nations Assembly in Winnipeg

Valerie Doze, a Sacred Heart sophomore, was selected by the East Grand Forks Rotary Club and represented Sacred Heart as part of an East Grand Forks delegation. Doze, along with her East Grand Forks Senior High partner, Danah Albaaj, was part of the team representing Bolivia in Winnipeg at the Model United Nations (M.U.N.A.) assembly.
The two-day learning simulation allowed the students, along with their counselors, Willem Schrage and Jen MacLeod, to take on global citizenship as they simulated the United Nations General Assembly.

Doze and Albaaj prepared statements using Bolivia’s position on issues such as the situation in Syria and Iran, Moving Towards a Nuclear Free World, the Ebola Epidemic in West Africa, and a New Economic Order. Doze’s team, Bolivia, was the mover on a resolution that spoke about changing international economic policy. They had to give speeches, participate in lively debates and practice the same general decorum of delegates as close as possible to approximate the UN General Assembly.

Next year there will be two Sacred Heart spots available to juniors and seniors. Those SHS students interested in participating should contact Jen MacLeod at the school.
